Image Replacement is a technique that employs CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to substitute in replacement copy and HTML - such as a text link or heading tag - when the stylesheet is not loaded (as is the case when the search engine spiders come to visit.) The text-based replacement is weighted more heavily by the engines than the IMG ALT attribute ”” thus it is preferable to relying solely on the ALT attribute.
